It's probably been a while since you read a Winnie-the-Pooh story or watched an animated film featuring the humble bear, but here's a series of vintage photos centering on author A. A. Milne's famous character. The images of Milne's son Christopher Robin — the inspiration for Milne's character of the same name who was Pooh's best pal — were taken in 1926 and in 1928 (photos of Christopher Robin and his father.) Mini Milne and his stuffed bear — named Edward, a gift he received on his first birthday — sometimes come across semi-creepy, but in that charming, vintage-photo way.
There is a dark side to the young Milne's life, however. Later in life, he grew to resent dear old dad for thrusting him into the public eye and essentially exploiting his childhood — or so he felt. He published a series of his own books describing the difficulties of growing up Pooh. He also became an atheist, which is kind of ironic considering the religious associations people often make with Pooh. Fans who cherished Milne's childhood book series were disappointed by his reactions, but new generations have found much to love about the classic character.

A. A. Milne

Alan Alexander "A. A." Milne (/ˈmɪln/; 18 January 1882 – 31 January 1956) was an English author, best known for his books about the teddy bearWinnie-the-Pooh and for various poems. Milne was a noted writer, primarily as a playwright, before the huge success of Pooh overshadowed all his previous work. Milne served in both World Wars, joining the British Army in World War I, and was a captain of the British Home Guard in World War II.

Biography

Alan Alexander Milne was born in Kilburn, London to parents John Vince Milne, who was Scottish, and Sarah Marie Milne (née Heginbotham) and grew up at Henley House School, 6/7 Mortimer Road (now Crescent), Kilburn, a small public school run by his father. One of his teachers was H. G. Wells, who taught there in 1889–90. Milne attended Westminster School and Trinity College, Cambridge where he studied on a mathematics scholarship, graduating with a B.A. in Mathematics in 1903. While there, he edited and wrote for Granta, a student magazine. He collaborated with his brother Kenneth and their articles appeared over the initials AKM. Milne's work came to the attention of the leading British humour magazine Punch, where Milne was to become a contributor and later an assistant editor. Milne played for the amateur English cricket team the Allahakbarries alongside authors J. M. Barrie and Arthur Conan Doyle.

A,A

Completed in 2004, it was installed on campus at a reported cost of $240,000. The work of art took the sculptor a year to complete.

The A,A is composed of portions of poems, novels, and prose from a number of different languages from different parts of the world. Some languages included on the art includes Arabic, Russian, Spanish, and Chinese. At night, a built-in light projector casts light through the sculpture. This causes the effect of illuminating the sculpture's text onto the outside of the library's walls.

In addition to the sculpture in front of the M.D. Anderson Library, there are two additions from Sanborn inside the library. These include a 24-foot-long (7.3m) bronze scroll detailing the history of papermaking that hang from the ceiling of the first floor and bronze panels along some of the guardrails containing portions of poems and other literature.

In the books

Christopher Robin appears in Milne's poems and in the two books: Winnie-the-Pooh (1926) and The House at Pooh Corner (1928). In the books he is a young boy and one of Winnie-the-Pooh's best friends. His other friends are Eeyore, Kanga, and Roo, Rabbit, Piglet, Owl, and Tigger. He is characterized by his uneven socks. In the second book, there are hints that Christopher Robin is growing up. In the final chapter, the inhabitants of the Hundred Acre Wood throw him a farewell party after learning he must leave them soon. It is implied that he will attend boarding school; Christopher Robin Milne, for whom the stories were originally developed, left home to attend Stowe School at age 9.

Winnie the Pooh (comic strip)

Winnie the Pooh is a comic strip based on the characters created by A.A. Milne in his 1920s books, which ran from June 19, 1978, until April 2, 1988.

Based on the Disney adaptations of the characters, the strip was written by Don Ferguson and drawn by Richard Moore, although the feature was usually billed as "by Disney." To the established cast of characters, Ferguson and Moore added Sir Brian and the Dragon, inspired by characters from Milne's poetry.

Disobedience by A A Milne (read by Tom O'Bedlam)

A police spokeman said that James' mother had been seen in the red light district during the schoolday wearing thigh boots and a short gold lamé dress that barely covered her pelvis. They have interviewed her regulars except for Weatherby and they'd like to hear from anybody who knows his whereabouts.
Dr. Phil opined, "Kids will find some way to blame themselves for their mommy's misdeeds but in this case James is a controlling, insufferable little prig." James replied that he looked like a Heffalump. Dr. Phil said sternly, "Look here boy, y'gotta realise that callin people names is jest plain flat-out wrong, 'cepting when ah'm doin' it. Don' fergit this ole country boy is a hunnerd times biggern y'all."
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
I had to write an essay called "Disobedience" once. At the time I was becoming an expert on the subject, as boys do in adolescence. I remember that I was acting-up in Biology - showing off for the girls most likely - and the lady teacher, whose name I conveniently forget, inflicted the punishment on me. She demanded an essay on "Disobedience" by the following morning.
Like a red rag to bull, it was. She had not stipulated that I should write from any specific point-of-view, so I chose to be "for" rather than "against" - I said what a great thing disobedience was because it saved mankind from the oppression of tyrants. And so on, for the stipulated thousand words.
I kicked off with a quotation from Bernard Shaw, "Disobedience, the rarest and most courageous of all the virtues, is rarely distinguished from neglect, the laziest and commonist of all the vices."
The essay didn't go down at all well. I had expected admonishment and pique tempered by a badly-hidden smile or two. Not a bit of it. She had a melt-down into a puddle of incontinent rage, showered me with spittle during her angry expostulations and forced me to do it over again. She made me miss the school-bus home. This meant I had to walk six miles when I could have been sitting next to Mary M***** who always permitted a few surreptitious liberties with her person.
The injustice of it all offended me greatly. Damn it, it was a fine essay and a legitimate argument: I took a couple of hours over the writing of it. Her reaction made me question whether frumpy, middle-aged spinsters had any sense of humour and whether their state could be explained by their lack thereof. I thought her funny bone must have been missing that protruberance labelled "irony" in Gray's Anatomy.
Now I reflect on the matter I realise that I was a terrible, impudent fellow and, worse still, over the years I must admit I haven't improved that much. However I'm in good company:
"Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion." said Oscar Wilde.
"Disobedience: The silver lining to the cloud of servitude." said Ambrose Bierce.
"Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves." said James HenryThoreau.
The picture is from "When We Were Very Young", the anthology of children's verse which includes this poem.

At The Zoo - A.A.Milne

At The Zoo - A.A.Milne

From A.A.Milne children's poems "When We Were Very Young".
Music written by Rob Piatt.
Rob's son Oscar sings (he's 8)
There are lions and roaring tigers
and enormous camels and things
There are biffalo-buffalo-bisons
and a great big bear with wings
There's a sort of a tiny potamus
and a tiny nosserus too -
But I gave buns to the elephant
when I went down to the Zoo!
There are badgers and bidgers and bodgers
and a Super-in-tendent's House
There are masses of goats, and a Polar
and different kinds of mouse
And I think there's a sort of a something
which is called a wallaboo -
But I gave buns to the elephant
when I went down to the Zoo!
If you try to talk to the bison
he never quite understands
You can't shake hands with a mingo -
he doesn't like shaking hands
And lions and roaring tigers
hate saying, "How do you do?" -
But I give buns to the elephant
when I go down to the Zoo!

I had to write an essay called "Disobedience" once. At the time I was becoming an expert on the subject, as boys do in adolescence. I remember that I was acting-up in Biology - showing off for the girls most likely - and the lady teacher, whose name I conveniently forget, inflicted the punishment on me.

And so on, for the stipulated thousand words.
I kicked off with a quotation from Bernard Shaw, "Disobedience, the rarest and most courageous of all the virtues, is rarely distinguished from neglect, the laziest and commonist of all the vices."
The essay didn't go down at all well. I had expected admonishment and pique tempered by a badly-hidden smile or two. Not a bit of it. She had a melt-down into a puddle of incontinent rage, showered me with spittle during her angry expostulations and forced me to do it over again. She made me miss the school-bus home. This meant I had to walk six miles when I could have been sitting next to Mary M***** who always permitted a few surreptitious liberties with her person.

They have interviewed her regulars except for Weatherby and they'd like to hear from anybody who knows his whereabouts.
Dr. Phil opined, "Kids will find some way to blame themselves for their mommy's misdeeds but in this case James is a controlling, insufferable little prig." James replied that he looked like a Heffalump. Dr. Phil said sternly, "Look here boy, y'gotta realise that callin people names is jest plain flat-out wrong, 'cepting when ah'm doin' it. Don' fergit this ole country boy is a hunnerd times biggern y'all."

I had to write an essay called "Disobedience" once. At the time I was becoming an expert on the subject, as boys do in adolescence. I remember that I was acting-up in Biology - showing off for the girls most likely - and the lady teacher, whose name I conveniently forget, inflicted the punishment on me. She demanded an essay on "Disobedience" by the following morning.
Like a red rag to bull, it was. She had not stipulated that I should write from any specific point-of-view, so I chose to be "for" rather than "against" - I said what a great thing disobedience was because it saved mankind from the oppression of tyrants. And so on, for the stipulated thousand words.
I kicked off with a quotation from Bernard Shaw, "Disobedience, the rarest and most courageous of all the virtues, is rarely distinguished from neglect, the laziest and commonist of all the vices."
The essay didn't go down at all well. I had expected admonishment and pique tempered by a badly-hidden smile or two. Not a bit of it. She had a melt-down into a puddle of incontinent rage, showered me with spittle during her angry expostulations and forced me to do it over again. She made me miss the school-bus home. This meant I had to walk six miles when I could have been sitting next to Mary M***** who always permitted a few surreptitious liberties with her person.
The injustice of it all offended me greatly. Damn it, it was a fine essay and a legitimate argument: I took a couple of hours over the writing of it. Her reaction made me question whether frumpy, middle-aged spinsters had any sense of humour and whether their state could be explained by their lack thereof. I thought her funny bone must have been missing that protruberance labelled "irony" in Gray's Anatomy.
Now I reflect on the matter I realise that I was a terrible, impudent fellow and, worse still, over the years I must admit I haven't improved that much. However I'm in good company:
"Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion." said Oscar Wilde.
"Disobedience: The silver lining to the cloud of servitude." said Ambrose Bierce.
"Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves." said James HenryThoreau.

Rob's son Oscar sings (he's 8)
There are lions and roaring tigers
and enormous camels and things
There are biffalo-buffalo-bisons
and a great big bear with wings
There's a sort of a tiny potamus
and a tiny nosserus too -
But I gave buns to the elephant
when I went down to the Zoo!
There are badgers and bidgers and bodgers
and a Super-in-tendent's House
There are masses of goats, and a Polar
and different kinds of mouse
And I think there's a sort of a something
which is called a wallaboo -
But I gave buns to the elephant
when I went down to the Zoo!
If you try to talk to the bison
he never quite understands
You can't shake hands with a mingo -
he doesn't like shaking hands
And lions and roaring tigers
hate saying, "How do you do?" -
But I give buns to the elephant
when I go down to the Zoo!

AA Milne, Christopher Robin and the curse of Winnie the Pooh

*******************************************************************
as Quentin Crisp once pointed out in a lecture: if he were to bring a distinguished old Yorkshireman on stage, the audience might be perplexed; but if he brought a polished abstract sculpture with a hole in the middle, the audience would cry out, “Ah! Henry Moore!” So AA Milne’s long career as poet, playwright, polemicist, peace campaigner and novelist is completely eclipsed by four short children’s books which, as he put it in 1952, he created, “little thinking / All my years of pen-and-inking / Would be almost lost among / Those four trifles for the young”.
That “almost” is no longer needed. Pooh is one of a tiny handful of creations that are so enormously successful we forget the infelicity of their names: Boots, the Beatles, Star Wars, Winnie-the-Pooh. One of the great secrets of success is that, more often than not, it is not the kind of success you were hoping for. You want to be Hamlet but you’re hailed as a clown, and now you can never be any kind of Hamlet. You want to move on but your global hit exerts all the gravity of a planet and you are trapped in its orbit. Failure at least has the comfort of hope. Milne’s life story brilliantly illuminates what it feels like to be tested by huge, unlooked-for success.

Meet the Real Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin in 1926

It's probably been a while since you read a Winnie-the-Pooh story or watched an animated film featuring the humble bear, but here's a series of vintage photos centering on author A. A. Milne's famous character. The images of Milne's son Christopher Robin — the inspiration for Milne's character of the same name who was Pooh's best pal — were taken in 1926 and in 1928 (photos of Christopher Robin and his father.) Mini Milne and his stuffed bear — named Edward, a gift he received on his first birthday — sometimes come across semi-creepy, but in that charming, vintage-photo way.
There is a dark side to the young Milne's life, however. Later in life, he grew to resent dear old dad for thrusting him into the public eye and essentially exploiting his childhood — or so he felt. He published a series of his own books describing the difficulties of growing up Pooh. He also became an atheist, which is kind of ironic considering the religious associations people often make with Pooh. Fans who cherished Milne's childhood book series were disappointed by his reactions, but new generations have found much to love about the classic character.

A. A. Milne

Alan Alexander "A. A." Milne (/ˈmɪln/; 18 January 1882 – 31 January 1956) was an English author, best known for his books about the teddy bearWinnie-the-Pooh and for various poems. Milne was a noted writer, primarily as a playwright, before the huge success of Pooh overshadowed all his previous work. Milne served in both World Wars, joining the British Army in World War I, and was a captain of the British Home Guard in World War II.

Biography

Alan Alexander Milne was born in Kilburn, London to parents John Vince Milne, who was Scottish, and Sarah Marie Milne (née Heginbotham) and grew up at Henley House School, 6/7 Mortimer Road (now Crescent), Kilburn, a small public school run by his father. One of his teachers was H. G. Wells, who taught there in 1889–90. Milne attended Westminster School and Trinity College, Cambridge where he studied on a mathematics scholarship, graduating with a B.A. in Mathematics in 1903. While there, he edited and wrote for Granta, a student magazine. He collaborated with his brother Kenneth and their articles appeared over the initials AKM. Milne's work came to the attention of the leading British humour magazine Punch, where Milne was to become a contributor and later an assistant editor. Milne played for the amateur English cricket team the Allahakbarries alongside authors J. M. Barrie and Arthur Conan Doyle.
